Common issues include file corruption or incorrect bit depth or color settings. Now that you know what causes this error message, let’s go over how you can fix it.
1. Change Image File Extension
This issue occurs when Adobe Premiere doesn’t recognize file formats due to incompatible headers. Changing the file extension, like from TIFF to PNG or JPEG, can fix this by converting the file into a format Premiere supports, often avoiding the header error.
2. Change Color Mode to RGB
Switching the color mode to RGB can resolve the header error because Adobe Premiere works best with RGB, the standard for digital video. Files in other color modes, like CMYK, can cause import issues. Converting the file to RGB ensures compatibility and proper color handling, reducing errors.
